Today's fun brought to you by LMNOP...

Today was such a fun day! We were so busy today, and it was unexpected (as I thought we'd lounge  at home), but instead we did some running around!

L: We hit up the Library! One place my children absolutely Love, is the Library! It is Lovely!

She moved.

Books fun!

M: Ronald McDonald came to the library, for a visit, and put on a Magic show. It was Magnificent! Daphne and Charly didn't want to watch, so instead played, but Oliver and Kenna Marveled in it's glory. :)

He is in a trance!

N: No Need to say No today! Taco Bell for lunch had the kids cheering! Some might say "Nasty!", but Not my children! They enjoyed every 'tasty' bite! 

O: They also asked for Starbucks after the library! Obviously, this family loves Starbucks! Of course, I said YES!

 

 P: When Kenna got home today, the first words out of her mouth were "Can we go get my ears Pierced?"Say what?!?!?! Well, we decided we were going to do just that! In the Process, Daphne decided she also wanted to get her ears Pierced. Ok! I warned them of the Pinch of Pain that comes with it, but they were still super Pushy that they NEEDED this. :) So, off we went! They Picked out their earrings, and Poof...done! They did exceptionally well. I was quite Proud!! They Picked out other earrings, so they can change them when their 6 weeks was up! They couldn't wait to get a mirror, to see the finished Product! Then, the asked to get their Picture taken! They have told EVERYONE today of their excursion...the librarians. Ronald McDonald. The cashier. My friends. They couldn't contain themselves! Kenna got Elsa, and Daphne got rainbow flowers.

It was a glorious trip, with loads of fun! I'm so glad my kids had so much fun today!

A Reader's Wonderland!

Sunday started off really wet and dreary. It had been raining for hours, when Charly finally woke up from a deep sleep, at 11am. Now we couldn't go to the park, like we had planned. So, while she's trying to wake up, she has a couple of waffles, for lunch.
Well, about that time, my litter terror monkey, I mean Kenna, was starting to get tired. So, I decided it was time for nap. I couldn't handle anymore of the howls, squeals and screams over absolutely nothing. Phew. She was asleep in minutes. Thank goodness. Charly really wanted to go do something.
Since we couldn't all go do something, with Miss Kenna was sleeping, Brian (my wonderful husband), decided it was time that he and Charly have some time together. So, they hopped in the car, and off to the library they went. Charly has never been to a real library, like it's own building with TONS of books, movies and other exciting new things. She has been to the tiny library at her elementary school...so she had a basic understanding when they got there.
But, it was a whole new level of awesomeness to Miss Charly. Brian said she was in heaven. They walk in, and apply for their library cards. She even had to sign her card. Then, their off, searching for what to bring home. Brian said he had to talk Charly out of bringing home every single child's DVD they had.  Brian said that she enjoyed every minute of the experience; the signing up for a card, looking for books and movies she wanted to bring home, and even the checking out. While at the library, she almost completely read one of the books that she brought home. She also read it while in the car, on the way home. And, within 5 minutes of getting home, she had finished reading the book, and moved on to the next one. So, after almost 2 hours in the library, she came home with 4 books, and 2 DVDs, and 1 giant smile!

A special thank you to my husband for taking her to the library, and snapping this picture of her!
